  • Earth's Lithosphere: The 3 Most Abundant Elements
    The three most abundant elements in the Earth's lithosphere (the rigid outer layer of the Earth that includes the crust and upper mantle) are:

    1. Oxygen (O) - About 46.6% by weight

    2. Silicon (Si) - About 27.7% by weight

    3. Aluminum (Al) - About 8.1% by weight

    These elements form the basis of most of the minerals found in the lithosphere.
